| 345941 | 2005-04-17 09:20:00 | Good- I just got Ubuntu Linux running Bad- Under emulation software Ugly- On Windows XP Nevertheless, it is Linux, it works fully and for all intents and purposes it is a seerate machine, and I can truly dual boot ;) Anyway, on to the problem. I'm having a few issues with setting up the networking. I'm running VMWare, so the Linux install gets it's own static IP (192.168.1.11). It can sucessfuly access the internet through our ADSL router, and can update/download any packages as necessary. What I'm trying to do is get it set up so in the Workgroup panel I can see 3 computers. Currently, all 3 of my systems (XP Home, Ubuntu and Win 98SE) can see 2 computers- the 98 & the XP one. To configure the Ubuntu install to register on a windows workgroup, i have to install SMB. This is where the issue lies. In the cool update manager( Why can't windows have something like this?), all 4 packages that have SMB in their name (libsmbclient, libsmbclient-dev, smbclient & smbfs) have been installed & the newest version running. However the Network config screen is adament that the necessary SMB package isn't running :@@: Is there something I have to manually have to install, or is there a pcakage I've possibly overlooked that should be installed? Thanks, Edward :) |

| 345943 | 2005-04-17 09:34:00 | It is not clear from your post whether or not you have started the SMB service? In Fedora: service smb start (or stop or restart depending on what you are doing). Maybe you have already done this? |

| 345944 | 2005-04-17 09:54:00 | I've had a look in the processes tab, and no, neither samba or smb are there. I've tried johnd's suggestion of "service smb start" in terminal, but it says "service cannot be found" :S |

| 345945 | 2005-04-17 10:08:00 | Try as root: /etc/init.d/samba start You may need to set it to start automatically at boot time otherwise you will need to start it manually each time. |

| 345946 | 2005-04-17 10:34:00 | The script in Fedora is called smb not samba - same for Ubuntu? /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start |

| 345947 | 2005-04-17 10:44:00 | I don't have access to the XP machine at the moment, so can't try it out. But I'll give it a shot in the morning :) anyway, how can I make it load as boot? |

| 345948 | 2005-04-17 11:12:00 | Hey Edward Try This (ubuntuguide.org) link. This is a link to Ubuntu Guide (http://ubuntuguide.org/) which gives practical instructions for most of the important things people will want to do with their Ubuntu Box. It shows in detail how to setup samba on Ubuntu. |

| 345949 | 2005-04-17 14:27:00 | Since it is Debian based you probably need these packages too: samba - the actual samba server (i.e. not the client) samba-common - common files for the client and server Debian heavily modularises its packages.. |

Shouldnt you just be able to apt-get samba-common and it would install samba as a dependiency? |
